Assistant Golf Professional

Overview

Cedar Crest Golf Course is one of the most historic and meaningful public golf courses in America. Designed by A.W. Tillinghast and host of the 1927 PGA Championship, Cedar Crest today serves as both a first-class municipal golf facility and a community anchor for Southern Dallas. Our success is driven by a dedicated, intelligent, and service-oriented team that believes public golf can be best-in-class, welcoming, well-run, and purpose-driven.

Through our partnership with the I AM a Golfer Foundation, Cedar Crest also serves as a platform for youth development, education, workforce pathways, and community renewal through golf. If you are passionate about hospitality, leadership, and using golf as a force for good, while still running a sharp, disciplined operation, this role is for you. This is not just a job, it’s a platform.

At Cedar Crest, you’ll help steward a historic golf course, serve a diverse and loyal golfing community, and contribute to youth development and community impact through the game. You’ll be challenged, trusted, and supported, and expected to bring pride, discipline, and heart to the work. Best-in-class isn’t a slogan here. It’s the standard.
